I just started playing with CRUL recently to try to map out different media download links on various websites, in an effort to avoid clicking around looking for hidden content. The language is very robust, but just the `filter` command alone is crazy powerful for just exploring things quickly and intuitively.

Thanks! The find (https://www.crul.com/docs/commands/find) command works really well if you are trying to construct a filter expression and just want to quickly look for results containing a particular string so you can see the defining attributes/column+row values.

There's a short writeup of this pattern here: https://www.crul.com/docs/examples/how-to-find-filters
